Stiff Records were the coolest label of the punk era. They released records by The Damned, Ian Dury and The Blockheads, and Madness. All bands I loved when I was a nipper. Although, obviously, I had no idea they were all on the same label.

I bought a Stiff Records t shirt the other day. It has the Stiff slogan, "If It Ain't Stiff, It Ain't Worth A F*ck" emblazoned across it. I love wearing it. It makes me feel like I'm on one of the legendary Stiff tours, where a load of spotty oiks climbed onto a bus (or even a train!) and rampaged in the nicest possible way around the country. It makes me feel punk rock, although the logo is almost 30 years old.

I'm Kate, and I live in London.
I like to buy lots and lots of cheap stuff. A thrifty spendaholic. And watch trashy telly, listen to trashy music and watch trashy films.
I like camp and serious and childish and pretentious, but most of all, I like bold. I know what stuff is good, and what is bad. And I'm going to tell you all about it. Possibly at insufferable length.
